But sometimes one of our customers will need to run their own standalone instance of CKAN. We want our customers to be able to take advantage of the tools we’ve built to publish open data from Accela Automation and also have the flexibility and utility of running their own CKAN instance if that’s what their open data program requires.

There are a number of ways to synch data between CKAN instances, and most are outside the scope of this post. But here is one way to link data in CivicData.com to a standalone CKAN instance that is quick and easy.
